I loved this spot. Close to the bathroom, nice shade, decent size. I wish I was a little closer to the shower house but that wasn’t a huge thing. All in all, nice spot!

The bathrooms are spotless and stocked. Almost every site is level enough to easily set up a motor home or CClass. Upgrades to some of the sites from gravel to asphalt was a pleasant surprise. Camp hosts, rangers and the sheriff patrol the area regularly.

The restroom cleaning staff were friendly and did an excellent job .
The grass cutting service showed up to mow the grass that needed to be cut .
Some of the kids in our group enjoyed the program at the amphitheater.
Our group reserved the large group,loop A ..there are two sites that need to be paved yet . Hope they plan to do so. We enjoyed our camping experience over the holiday weekend

We love camping at Coles Creek. The lost star this time was my fault. I booked a site that wasn't long enough for our camper and truck so when dehooking and hooking up the truck blocked the roadway. Would be nice if the site description indicated the full length of the site. Other than that, Awesome experience!
